unintentionally terraforming? what is the definition you're using for terraform?

terraform: (science fiction) To transform the atmosphere (or biosphere) of another planet into one having the characteristics of Earth.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/terraform

since we live on Terra, it has always had by definition terra-form, but if you use it to mean "make it support more humans inasmuch as we think we know how to do that", are you saying we're making it better or worse, unintentionally?

or are you just using it to mean "making planet-scale changes"?
